We recommend this new comic series to see in streaming. This driving behind the scenes of the film industry is a treat.
Have you ever dreamed of diving behind the scenes of the film industry? Wondering how the films are emerging from the validation of the project to its promotion? This new series is made for you. Very successful, it is the best new streaming that begins this week, and Linternates highly recommend it.
In detail, this new comedy follows Matt Remick, the new director at the head of Continental Studios. A real passionate about cinema, he finally obtains the job he dreamed of all his life. But society, and the film industry in general, are in difficulty. Each set visit, award party, marketing meeting, or casting decision could cause loss. All this is the subject of the first season of The studio.
The studio is the latest very successful creation of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The duo signs a biting portrait of Hollywood, denouncing with humor and intelligence the flaws of industry: the obsession with figure and money, the cynicism of executives, the narcissism of stars, communication strategies … thanks to its chaotic and incredible situations, the series never forgets to be funny and irresistible. Entertaining on the bottom, The studio is also a feast for the eyes thanks to its retro costumes and decorations. The succession of sequence plans allows you to dive into the frantic rhythm and to experience the pressure of Hollywood frames.
This dive into the film industry could not be done without an identified casting. Alongside Seth Rogen (Supergrave,, It’s the end…), we find Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along), Catherine O’Hara (Beetlejuice, Schitt’s Creek) and Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project) within the Continental Studios team.
To this is added an army of celebrities who came to play their own role. In the first episode alone, moviegoers will be able to recognize the iconic director Martin Scorsese (The freed, Taxi Driver…), or Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road). We will not reveal the other guests so as not to spoil your surprise, but we can promise you heavy.
The studio is made up of 10 episodes, about thirty minutes. The first season therefore lasts on average just over 5 hours. Be careful however: on March 26, only the first two episodes are available on Apple TV+, before a new episode is put online every Wednesday. Note that the contents of the streaming giant, which is distinguished from its competitors by its programs which bring together prestigious names, a licked aesthetic, and conquered criticism, are also accessible to MyCanal subscribers.
